Retreats are powerful portals for self-discovery. 

My journey started in 2017 with a retreat on the Oregon coast. It was peer-led and mostly focused on business, but what happened for me was deeply personal. 

Without client sessions and piles of laundry competing for my attention, I was able to slow down and meet myself exactly where I was—which, at the time, happened to be neck-deep in burnout. 

Over the years, I’ve attended and facilitated many different types of retreats. There’ve been peer-led masterminds, somatic healing journeys, sacred plant medicine ceremonies, business planning weekends, deep rest retreats, wellness gatherings with friends, and unguided solo adventures.

Regardless of the theme, each retreat gave me exactly what I needed—a sacred space to be fully present with myself. 

When you’re busy being of service, you don’t have time to meet yourself with the same loving presence you reserve for everyone else. The result of all of this over-giving and under-receiving is that you lose touch with yourself. 

When people ask how you’re doing, your immediate response is, “Fine, thanks!” followed by a quick redirect to get them talking about themselves. You know you’re not really fine, but you don’t know what you’re actually feeling…and you’re kind of afraid to find out. 

As your stress increases, it becomes harder to know what you need. 

Out of desperation, you start outsourcing your decisions to other people because you lack the capacity to source your own wisdom about what is right for you. Coaches, therapists, friends, colleagues, priests, pastors, teachers, parents—there are hordes of people willing to give you their opinion, and honestly, you’re relieved for someone to just tell you what to do. 

But here’s the deal… 

Every time you let someone else decide what’s right, you move a little further away from that deep, intuitive, all-knowing being who lives inside of you.

You know the answers to all of your questions. 

If you’ve forgotten how to find those answers or if you want to deepen your relationship with yourself, I’d love for you to join the Deep Rest Retreat in October. 

This retreat will give you the sacred space you need to rest, recharge, and reconnect with yourself. 

You’ll experience a blend of luxurious rest, deep personal exploration, joyful connection with community, and just enough practical business application to keep your CPA from questioning if you should really count this as a business expense. 😉

This is a space for you to meet yourself. 

The portal to self-discovery is opening to you now!
